Batman: the Dark Knight

I keep expecting this series to be better than it actually is. As a crossover with "Night of the Owls" it's interesting. The Talon is the main character of the story and I now feel like I have a better idea of what motivates them. I like how Haley's Circus and Dick Grayson are the central figures for so many of these stories.

Things I liked: I actually almost felt some sympathy for this Talon. He reminded me a bit of Jason; not as good as Dick and trying to hide that fear.

Things I didn't like: the cover has zero relation to the story. I thought Red Robin would be getting his chance to take down a Talon. Instead he was in one panel! I hate that kind of misdirection. Of course, Tim should be busy with the Culling so I'm kind of surprised that he showed up at all. They at least made the effort to get Jason to Gotham.
